The women’s soccer team continued their hot streak this weekend as they defeated the Trent Excalibur 4-0 in Peterborough on Saturday before returning home on Sunday to shutout the Ryerson Rams 1-0.

Strong winds on Saturday made for a challenging football game.
The Queen’s team was as far south-west as they could go for an afternoon meeting with the University of Windsor Lancer. After a close first half, the Gaels prevailed 42-13.

Last year, the men’s rugby team’s record at season’s end was 5-0-1, the lone tie a 12-12 draw at Western that extended their winless streak in London to seven years.
On Saturday, the Gaels finally chalked up a win in Mustangs territory, capping a 13-12 decision for sole possession of first place in the OUA and temporary bragging rights.

Football quarterback Danny Brannagan returned to the field with a bang after a concussion in Saturday’s 67-0 win over the York Lions.
Brannagan threw for five touchdowns and 543 yards, and ran for another touchdown. His 543 passing-yards was the seventh-most all time in a single CIS game.

Hailey Ingleson played to impress in the Western Invitational golf tournament last Thursday and Friday.
Ingleson won gold on Thursday by carding a five-over par score of 77.

During The Score television network’s Sept. 26 broadcast of the football game between the Guelph Gryphons and the Western Mustangs, Gryphons quarterback Justin Dunk broke for a 22-yard touchdown rush, ran to one of The Score’s cameras and yelled “Fuck Western!” to the country.

Water polo’s one of those sports I thought I could play one day. I figured my summers growing up playing a water-bound version of soccer in my aunt’s pool with my stepmom’s flip flop gave me a decent impression of the game.

The women’s rugby team suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday, dropping a 39-6 decision against the McMaster Marauders at Kingston Field. The loss bumped the Gaels down to second place in the Russell Division, with a record of 2-1.

The men’s basketball team stampeded to a 90-33 victory over Edmonton’s King’s University College Eagles on Saturday night in Bartlett Gym.
The Eagles visited Queen’s on their Kingston tour during which they also played the Royal Military College Paladins and the St. Lawrence College Vikings.

The last time the rugby team played McMaster, it was a cold, wet day on the outskirts of Markham, Ont. and an OUA banner was on the line. Queen’s lost that game, and the ghosts of the past hadn’t left them when they hosted the Marauders at Kingston Field on Saturday afternoon.

Despite Homecoming’s cancellation, the event’s usual suspects were in attendance at Richardson Stadium for the Queen’s Gaels’ 67-0 romp over the woeful York Lions on Saturday.
Purple-dyed engineering students still rushed the field during half-time and alumni were still part of the 6,221-strong crowd.

Queen’s football star and Kingston newbie Shomari Williams has something he wants people to know: he’s looking for a good barber in Kingston, so if you know one, hit him up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/blac33.

Andrea Wadsworth has made quite an impact in her short time with Queen’s rugby. The second-year mechanical engineering student sat out much of last year with a knee injury, but has quickly become an integral part of this year’s team.

Making my way to Richardson Stadium’s interview area after the frosh week football game between Queen’s and Guelph, I found myself embarrassed answering a newspaper writer from Guelph when he leaned over to me and asked, slightly under his breath so the Queen’s Athletics folks wouldn’t hear him, “Hey, where’d all the students go after the half?”

Fletcher’s Field, a rugby pitch that has not been a kind place to the men’s rugby team, lies on the outskirts of Markham, Ont. The neutral site of the OUA finals since 2005, the Gaels post an 0-4 record in finals games in the last four years, most recently an 18-10 loss last season to the McMaster Marauders.

It’s Wednesday afternoon and I enter Duncan McArthur Hall, immediately learning the first two things I’d pick up on what would be a very educational day. First of all, I didn’t know there was a gym over on West Campus. Secondly, I learnt it was the home of the Queen’s fencing team. Seriously, there’s a sign.
